Sensitivity of Slab Core Test Facility Calculational Model Execution to Certain TRAC (Transient Reactor Analysis Code) Input Parameters

摘要

Statistical correlation methods have been used to determine the sensitivity of the TRAC model for the Slab Core Test Facility to certain TRAC input parameters in order to optimize the calculations projected for FY 1981. By means of nonparametric statistical methods, it has been determined that reasonable convergence for minimum running time can be attained with a specific set of input timing and convergence criteria, thus effecting a savings in the anticipated cost of these calculations.
